Lately Savior had been feeling stiff, or something of a similar situation. Her legs ached, her body was restless, and the Marrowstripe began to wonder if something important was coming up. Like an animal who only used their instincts instead of their brain she relied on her basic feelings to translate things for her but. . . .well, she didn't depend on them too often.
Her wanderings in an attempt to stave off the weird feelings had led her nearly all around campus and back, her trails of sand covering here and there. The only place she didn't go anywhere near was the undead dorms (not really a surprise) but eventually she just stopped walking and decided to stand. She didn't think she was in the way or would actually hurt anyone, and soon a massive pile of sand accumulated around her and buried her beneath it.
The sand smelled like citrus.

Roch was looking for some space. He had walked around the entire school, his phone in his hand, the thought of practicing on his mind. He stopped as he saw a decent plot of ground, heading for it as he brought up some music on his phone. He was so focused on his phone that he barely noticed the citrusy smell wafting in the wind. He put the phone on the ground, then stretched a bit before jumping twice-- And starting to dance.

Slowly but surely the sand pile was being blown away by the movement of a nearby student, their jumping and dancing actually creating a small breeze that was enough to scatter the light sands that Savior produced on a second basis. When enough of it had been removed the Marrowstripe within was revealed, looking no worse for the wear but perhaps a bit sleepy, and she turned her head to the left and to the right to see what was going on.
At the sight of a boil jumping up and down and kicking his legs, Savior was instantly drawn over like a moth to the flames. She paused about a foot away from him, her pale green eyes starting into his with extreme interest. "Wut duen."
The way he moved his legs looked fun. Savior liked moving her legs and she liked fun, so this was up her alley.

"Oh! Savior!" Roch said, stopping and looking at her a bit curiously. He'd only met her for their fight, but it wasn't like he disliked her or anything. She was kinda strange, but-- "I'm dancing," he admitted. "Well, actually I'm practicing, cuz it takes me a bit to learn to dance. You like dancing?" he asked her.
He felt a little silly, having been caught all alone, dancing a dance that was better with two people. But Charlie and Mot were already better than he was, and he didn't like being left behind.

"Wut dasin." Savior barely recognized the boil before her, only knowing that she must know him somehow based on him calling her name. She hadn't gotten a chance to sleep since their encounter, allowing for the memory to remain in a hazy form. "Wait. Roch. 'kay." There we go, she remembered his name....and that was about it. It was a start at least considering she hadn't filled him to the brim with sand like she did West or Holly or anyone else.
She didn't understand what practice was either.

"Uh, doing this," Roch said, jumping twice before starting the kicking style dance again. He figured even if she didn't get the words she could copy him easily enough. She'd copied him during fighting, too, right? "See?" he asked, stopping. "It's dancing. Uh... jumping and kicking and stuff!" he offered.
He picked his phone up from the ground to show her the video. "Like this, see?" he said, holding it in front of her.

Savior watched for a bit over Roch's motions, her eyes unblinking as she studied each moment. It would have been okay for anyone to think she wouldn't be able to do something complex since she initially hesitated though after listening to the music and watching the video she looked down at her right leg.
Slowly she bounced up and down before kicking back and forth like she'd seen Roch doing, like those in the video did, and before long she had done at least a minute's worth of the clip she'd been shown.
Being stupid helped Savoior learn quickly - who knew?

"That's it!" Roch said with a grin. "Jack you're good at this! Here, I'll show you a trick," he said, showing her the 360 spin. "You do the thing we did first three times then step, kick, turn, step, see?" he told her, doing it as he said. This was cool, man! She really was a copy cat!
He could think of several things they could do with that talent!

If it only involved her legs than of course Savior would be good at whatever it was she needed to be doing, and the Marrowstripe watched Roch do his weird little turn before attempting it herself. Of course her timing was off and she ended up kicking the boil in the leg, though it wasn't as nearly a hard a hit as she was used to doing when trying to take down an enemy. "Oops. Sorree." Savior patted the back of her head, mimicking something she'd seen a student earlier when they appeared to have been apologizing for something. The basic concept of an apology was still a bit foreign to her but saying 'sorree' always did seem to please others and back them off a bit.
So it was with a whatever attitude that she tried again and managed to pull it off this time, backing up so she didn't kick Roch on the jump turn kick section. This was fun and it was making her legs feel better.

"It's fine," Roch said with a shrug. He'd been kicked in the leg more times than he could count, he figured it was only to be expected. Besides, she'd apologized. "Um..." He stopped, watching her turn. "Oye, Savior? Are you a year one, really?" he asked her. He'd been wondering that one since the fight.

"Year wut." Savior stopped on her spinning and kicking and random flailing to look at Roch, her eyebrows pinching themselves down in a heavy look of thought. Why so many questions from people? Didn't she explain herself enough as it was? She always said the basics - her name and her race and her general specie - so why press on further? "One, two."
Things like 'years' didn't bother Savior because she probably wasn't even aware that a labeling system of classes and grades was in order. The Marrowstripe didn't even know how she came to be at the school anymore and, in all honesty, it was for the best. "Why ax."

"Because I could have seriously hurt you," he said, groaning. "Jack, Savior, before fighting at least tell people you're a year one when you're a year one!" He sighed, feeling a headache building. This one needed watched out for just as much as Chuppi did, it seemed. Sure she was tough, but she was completely... oblivious, or something.

"Not impoant. Year mek stronger, dun ting sos." Savior stopped her motions entirely and looked at Roch, her expression still a bit sour. Him, hurt her? Hardly. Inside the gym the battles were all meant in fun, no one honestly was going at one another with the intent to kill or severely injure.
If Savior could remember, she could tell Roch how easily she had overpowered West when she was trying to, or how she'd stabbed Jericho directly in the chest with only her finger. Towards him, in the gym? She wasn't even trying. "Year not impoant. Youse can't hurts Savior."

He groaned. "Fine," he said. "You can't hurt Savior." Sure she was pretty tough, but still... Oh well. "Okay, let's try another one!" he said, going back to his dancing. "Grab your ankle behind your opposite leg and turn your leg, like this, see?" he said, showing her the next trick.

Savior kicked herself in the back of the head attempting to do what Roch was showing, and she lifted herself off the ground from where the impact had sent her. It looked as though question time was over (good!) and action time was now (even better) so the whole smashing of her face into the dirt could easily be ignored.
"kays." She tried again, eventually getting it. "Nex."
